The only way out of a recession is to unshackle the entrepreneurial spirit of America's business people. This means removing the obstacles that interfere with risk-taking and entrepreneurship. The lessons of history are obvious: lower taxes on production & reduce marginal tax rates to create economic growth. Yet, people in government seem to react in the opposite manner: cap & trade legislation (a tax on energy consumption), massive spending (issuing of more debt, printing of money), and the potential of future tax increases (2001 & 2003 tax law expiring at the end of 2010).
Regardless of the size of the business, an aggressive entrepreneurial spirit can produce great dividends even during a recession. A bold vision can propel a business out of any economic conditions. A great example can be found with an American institution in this article. Even during the rough economic times we find ourselves in, this company continues to thrive.
